A NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR OVER TWO DECADES
“Life is difficult.”
With this first sentence, Dr. M. Scott Peck revolutionized the way we live our lives, and it is no less true today than when it was written twenty years ago.
In this guide to confronting and resolving our problems—and suffering through the changes—we learn that we can reach a higher level of self knowledge. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of love and understanding,The Road Less Traveled can help us learn the very nature of loving relationships: how to recognize true compatibility; how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one’s own person; how to be a more sensitive parent.
The Road Less Traveled, a national bestseller for twenty years, will show you how to embrace reality and achieve serenity and fullness in your life. In this brilliant, groundbreaking book, traditional psychological thought and spirituality are challenged and a new understanding is brought into everyday life.
Review
“Not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.” —Phyllis Theroux,The WashingtonPost
“[Peck’s] approach to spirituality is simultaneously honest and understandable.” —Dr. Gerald May,The National Catholic Reporter
“Dr. Peck’s book is valuable and sometimes brilliant in its insistence that there is no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth.” —Edmund Fuller,The Wall Street Journal

或许在我们这一代，没有任何一本书能像The Road Less Traveled《少有人走的路：心智成熟的旅程》这样，给我们的心灵和精神带来如此巨大的冲击。仅在北美，其销售量就超过了700万册，被翻译成23种以上的语言；在《纽约时报》畅销书榜单上，它停驻了近20年的时间。这是出版史上的一大奇迹。
毫无疑问，The Road Less Traveled《少有人走的路：心智成熟的旅程》创造了空前的销售纪录，而且，至今长盛不衰。
The Road Less Traveled《少有人走的路：心智成熟的旅程》处处透露出沟通与理解的意味，它跨越时代限制，帮助我们探索爱的本质，引导我们过上崭新、宁静而丰富的生活；它帮助我们学习爱，也学习独立；它教诲我们成为更称职的、更有理解心的父母。归根到底，它告诉我们怎样找到真正的自我。
正如The Road Less Traveled《少有人走的路：心智成熟的旅程》开篇所言：人生苦难重重。M.斯科特·派克让我们更加清楚：人生是一场艰辛之旅，心智成熟的旅程相当漫长。但是，它没有让我们感到恐惧，相反，它带领我们去经历一系列艰难乃至痛苦的转变，之后达到自我认知的更高境界。
Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives thanThe Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than 7 million copies in the United States and Canada, and translation into more than 23 languages, it has made publishing history, with more than 10 years onThe New York Times bestseller list.
Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to enable us to explore the nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us determine how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self.
Recognizing that—in the famous opening line of his book—“Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather gently guides them through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.
Combining profound psychological insight and deep spirituality, this one-of-a-kind hardcover anniversary edition is a book to treasure and turn to again and again for inspiration and understanding. As Phyllis Theroux wrote inThe Washington Post when the original edition ofThe Road Less Traveled was first published, “It is not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.”

M.斯科特•派克（M.Scott Peck），毕业于哈佛大学，获得硕士和博士学位。他长期从事心理治疗实践，取得了卓著成绩，被誉为“我们这个时代杰出的心理医生”。
由于其巨大的影响力，他获得政府特许，进入政府心理治疗特殊小组，为越战士兵提供治疗。他还曾接受派遣，在美军驻日本冲绳基地担任心理医生。这些特殊的职业经历，成就了他伟大的著作《少有人走的路》系列，该书在《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜连续上榜近20年，被西方媒体誉为“来自上帝之手”的时代杰作，创造了出版史上的一大奇迹！

Problems and Pain
Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. * It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult—once we truly understand and accept it—then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy.
They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?
Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life’s problems. Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems.
What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration or grief or sadness or loneliness or guilt or regret or anger or fear or anxiety or anguish or despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems. And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

“If You Want to Gather Honey, Don’t Kick Over the Beehive”
On May 7, 1931, the most sensational manhunt New York City had ever known had come to its climax. After weeks of search, “Two Gun” Crowley — the killer, the gunman who didn’t smoke or drink — was at bay, trapped in his sweetheart’s apartment on West End Avenue.
One hundred and fifty policemen and detectives laid siege to his top-floor hideaway. They chopped holes in the roof; they tried to smoke out Crowley, the “cop killer,” with tear gas. Then they mounted their machine guns on surrounding buildings, and for more than an hour one of New York’s fine residential areas reverberated with the crack of pistol fire and the rat-tat-tat of machine guns. Crowley, crouching behind an overstuffed chair, fired incessantly at the police. Ten thousand excited people watched the battle. Nothing like it had ever been seen before on the sidewalks of New York.
When Crowley was captured, Police Commissioner E. P. Mulrooney declared that the two-gun desperado was one of the most dangerous criminals ever encountered in the history of New York. “He will kill,” said the Commissioner, “at the drop of a feather.”
But how did “Two Gun” Crowley regard himself? We know, because while the police were firing into his apartment, he wrote a letter addressed “To whom it may concern.” And, as he wrote, the blood flowing from his wounds left a crimson trail on the paper. In his letter Crowley said: “Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one — one that would do nobody any harm.”
A short time before this, Crowley had been having a necking party with his girl friend on a country road out on Long Island. Suddenly a policeman walked up to the car and said: “Let me see your license.”
Without saying a word, Crowley drew his gun and cut the policeman down with a shower of lead. As the dying officer fell, Crowley leaped out of the car, grabbed the officer’s revolver, and fired another bullet into the prostrate body. And that was the killer who said: “Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one — one that would do nobody any harm.”
Crowley was sentenced to the electric chair. When he arrived at the death house in Sing Sing, did he say, “This is what I get for killing people”? No, he said: “This is what I get for defending myself.”
The point of the story is this: “Two Gun” Crowley didn’t blame himself for anything.
Is that an unusual attitude among criminals? If you think so, listen to this:
“I have spent the best years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.”
That’s Al Capone speaking. Yes, America’s most notorious Public Enemy — the most sinister gang leader who ever shot up Chicago. Capone didn’t condemn himself. He actually regarded himself as a public benefactor — an unappreciated and misunderstood public benefactor.
